Former President Donald Trump on Saturday attempted to turn the tables on his likely rival in November, President Joe Biden, arguing that the man whose election victory Trump tried to overturn is “the destroyer of American democracy.”
Trump’s allegations about Biden, a Democrat, echo the ones that Biden has been making for years against his predecessor. As Trump has dominated the Republican presidential primary and talked about targeting his rivals and the news media if he wins the White House again, Biden has stepped up his own warnings, contending Trump is “ determined to destroy American democracy.”
On Saturday, Trump made his most explicit argument to date on why voters should instead see his rival as the bigger democratic threat. Trump repeated his longstanding contention that the four criminal indictments against him show Biden is misusing the federal justice system against his rival.
“He’s been weaponizing government against his political opponents like a Third World political tyrant,” Trump said to a crowd in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. “Biden and his radical left allies like to pose as standing up as allies of democracy,” Trump continued, arguing: “Joe Biden is not the defender of American democracy, Joe Biden is the destroyer of American democracy.”
The thing is though, it’s crazy effective.
Remember when Trump pulled a “No puppet! No puppet! You’re the puppet! No you’re the puppet!” and still managed to get elected?
Wtf is wrong with people…
Trump’s Cultists hurt themselves in their confusion.
Oh no no. They won’t only hurt themselves. Sadly, US politics tend to have an impact on a large part of the globe. If Trump gets re-elected, it’s not only the US that will get fucked.
True, but I think that’s too long for a status effect.
Good point :)
Republicans are an existential threat to the united states.
We need to stop treating them like they just have a different opinion.
If you ever wondered what you would do if you found yourself in germany before WW2, now’s your chance to find out.
Trump: Biden is destroying Democracy! Also Trump: I’m waging a War on Democracy!
Republicans: Both make sense and I think for myself!
Welcome! Come one come all to the new stage! No more do policies hold the limelight. Never again shall we bore with the drab and dull of debate. Breathe the naked excitement of pure human excrement flung to and fro. The great halls of man metamorphisised, and from the magneficient cocoon has birthed a grimy throne of porcelain. Diminish your standards, and revel in the filth! The new man is forever here!
Every accusation is a confession.
Say it with me, everyone; PROJECTION!
No puppet you are the puppet
his likely rival in November
Ugh.
If only the media could not make every deluded thing this doofus says into ‘news’, that would be great.
